7 Quick Takes Friday (#26)

We got Mary Rene’s 9 month pictures back. The wonderful folks at JC Penney’s took the pictures. I can’t upload the pictures here since JC Penney’s owns the rights to the photos. But I do want to give you a tour of my house.
This is the red wall in our front room. The other three walls are white.
You can see one of the three white walls here.
We also got her 3 and 6 month pictures taken at JC Penney’s.
Even though our front room is red and white our bedroom is this color.
Okay. That was completely obnoxious of me.

This excessively hot weather has really put a wrench in our stroller walks. We haven’t been out for a walk in nearly two weeks now. I feel like it is winter all over again but instead of extreme cold we have the extreme heat. Could I complain anymore?

Our friends, who moved to Vegas a year ago, are expecting and there is a baby shower for them tomorrow. I made them a taggie blanket.
I just couldn’t bare the thought of their little one rooting for the wrong team.

Along with the baby shower there will be a graduation and a house warming party at that same party. Before we go to all those parties we are attending a first birthday party for my friend’s son. I knew that having kids meant you would be busier but gosh I didn’t expect it to be this busy.

My bridesmaid dress for my sister’s wedding arrived. I ordered the size 8 back in March. At the time we had not introduced solids so Mary Rene was still nursing every two to three hours. Now that she is eating solids she is nursing every three to four hours. I know that the older she gets the less she will nurse. She will be 13 months when my sister gets married. So I’m not sure if I will be able to fit in that dress by then! I really believe that all the nursing is what is keeping me slim. Once I stop nursing I’ll have to start being more diligent about working out and eating right. That means when my alarm goes off at 6:25 a.m. I have to get out of bed instead of hitting snooze. Gosh that doesn’t sound like fun at all.

I easily could write a whole post about this but only want to mention it quickly. I can’t believe Jon & Katie (plus 8 ) are getting a divorce. Even though their marriage was in the tabloids a lot before the announcement I was really thinking that it was a rumor. I’m just a bit shocked. People are blaming reality tv as the trigger to their marriage’s downfall. There there was Hulk Hogan and his wife. Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey. Should I keep naming all the reality stars that are divorced? But really it isn’t just reality stars, it is reality. So sad.

My amazingly smart husband said that every Thursday night I should sew between 9 and 11 p.m. That way I can start working on all these special request that I am recieving. So on Tuesday and Wednesday I ironed out a few extra minutes here and there so I could get my pattern pieces cut out. Last night I was ready to sew and quickly went to work at exactly 9 p.m. At 10:11 p.m. I realized that I messed up and I have to unsew a huge piece of fabric. It actually was the most difficult part, of course, to sew. I worked on it until 11 p.m. and then called it a night.

1. Obnoxious or not, I was laughing at your wall color tour!
2. Why are spring and fall not as long as winter and summer? Moderate temperatures are my long lost bff.
7. Good luck on your sewing schedule. I’ve always heard that if you want something to be a job that you’ll make money from, you have to set aside specific time and work like it IS your job. So good for you for doing that!

JCPenny’s does a good job!
Also, I actually LOST weight at the end of my nursing with Sophie and Bella. My body held onto those last 5 lbs til I stopped. So, you may not have as much to worry about! You’ll be less hungry, too.
